Reid also fostered a strong social media presence throughout his mission by sharing the raw emotions of spaceflight as seen through the eyes of a rookie flier. The Baltimore native earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and a Master of Science in Systems Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Currently, Wiseman is Chief of the Astronaut Office. Personal Data: Reid’s hometown is Baltimore, Maryland. His wife, Carroll, is survived by their two children. His mother, Judy, is deceased, and his father, Bill, resides in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Education: Graduated from Dulaney High School, Timonium, Maryland, 1993; Bachelor of Science degree in Computer and Systems Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, 1997; Master of Science degree in Systems Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, 2006; Certificate of Space Systems, US Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, 2008.

  • NASA Undecided Due to Leak Investigation 24 January 2014, by Elizabeth Howell
    Will spacewalks happen on Expedition 40? NASA undecided due to leak investigation 24 January 2014, by Elizabeth Howell launches in late March. Joining the two-time shuttle astronaut will be two other people, including Alexander Skvortsov. The Russian cosmonaut commanded Expedition 24 in 2010, which experienced a similar ammonia leak to the one that was just repaired a few months ago. While leaks and spacewalks are the items that grab headlines when it comes to spaceflight, one of the major goals of the International Space Station is more subtle. Researchers hope to understand how spaceflight affects the human body during long- duration missions. (This will be a major focus of a one-year mission to station in 2015.) Through a translator, Skvortsov explained that the recent Steve Swanson, commander of Expedition 40, during a decision to extend station's operations to at least spacewalk on 2007 shuttle mission STS-117. Credit: 2024 will be a help for research of this kind. NASA Remember those snorkels and pads astronauts used during the ammonia pump replacement on station this past December? The new measures went a long way to helping astronauts stay safe if another helmet water leak happens, but at the same time, NASA is eager to find the cause so they know how it happened and how to prevent it. Two maintenance spacewalks are planned for Expedition 40, but they're not necessarily going forward yet. NASA has traced the issue to a fan pump separator, but there's another issue, explained expedition commander Steve Swanson: Expedition 39/40 cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov during where the particulates in the water came from.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Off t Ert, Fr t Ert A message from the Program Manager for the International Space Station As we reflect on the first 15 years of the International Space Station (ISS), we have achieved much in advancing human knowledge through research, enabling the first steps in commercialization of space, fostering peaceful international cooperation and enabling exploration beyond low earth orbit. e ISS has served as a unique microgravity laboratory to perform over 1600 experiments from researchers in over 80 countries. ese experiments are making discoveries that provide direct benefits to people on Earth and to expand our knowledge to enable humans to work, live and explore further into our solar system than ever before. To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration. Regards, FRONT COVER: A fish-eye lens was used to capture this image of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman participating in a session of an extravehicular activity (EVA). During the six-hour, MICHAEL T.

Soyuz Commander Alexander Skvortsov, Swanson and Flight Engineer Oleg Artemyev will complete their mission Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 7:01 p.m. when they undock in their Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft from the Poisk docking compartment for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan a little less than 3.5 hours later. Provided by NASA Credit: NASA/ESA/Alexander Gerst European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst posted this photograph taken from the International Space Station to social media on Aug. 29, 2014, writing, "words can't describe how it feels flying through an #aurora. I wouldn't even know where to begin…." Crewmembers on the space station photograph the Earth from their unique point of view located 200 miles above the surface. Photographs record how the planet is changing over time, from human- caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. Crewmembers have been photographing Earth from space since the early Mercury missions beginning in 1961. The continuous images taken from the space station ensure this record remains unbroken. On Tuesday, Sept. 9 aboard the space station, cosmonaut Max Suraev of Roscosmos takes the helm when Expedition 40 Commander Steve Swanson hands over control during a Change of Command Ceremony at 5:15 p.m. EDT. Suraev will lead Expedition 41 and stay in orbit until November with Gerst and NASA astronaut Reid 1 / 2 APA citation: NASA image: Flying through an aurora (2014, September 10) retrieved 29 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2014-09-nasa-image-aurora.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) Provides an Overview of ISECG Activities, Products and Accomplishments in That Year
    Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 About ISECG ISECG was established in response to the “The Global Exploration Strategy: The Framework for Coordination” (GES) developed by 14 space agencies1 and released in May 2007. This GES Framework Document articulated a shared vision of coordinated human and robotic space exploration focused on solar system destinations where humans may one day live and work. The purpose of ISECG is to provide a forum to discuss interests, objectives and plans in space exploration and to support promotion of interest and engagement in space exploration activities throughout society. The work of ISECG results in documents, papers, findings and recommendations that are critical in informing individual agency decision-making. In 2014, ISECG remained focused on working collectively towards the further development and implementation of the GES to facilitate collaborations. Since September 2014, the Chairmanship of ISECG is held by ESA (European Space Agency).
